Welcome to My LUNG FORCE Page

I am running this race in honor of my husband, Jeff. We started running as a family last September and that stopped the second week of November when he could barely catch his breath after running in a 2 mile race. After a lung biopsy this past December, he received a diagnosis of Sarcoidosis. He has scarring on both of his lungs and will never have 100% lung capacity/function. He is being treated by a pulmonary doctor and on medication to keep the disease from getting worse. The disease has limited his ability to do regular activities that a person in their early 40's would do on a daily basis. Therefore, my son and I are running in honor of Jeff who is a wonderful, caring, and loving husband/dad/friend.

We are a force to be reckoned with. Only A Force of Many Can Stand Up To:

the frightening rise of lung cancer in women

the deadly disease that is COPD

the daily challenges that asthma sufferers face

pollution that threatens our lungs and our lives

With your participation and help, our LUNG FORCE Run/Walk will make a difference in lives that desperately need it. Register today, because now is the time to raise our voices against lung cancer—and for lung health.
